An excellent choice for restricted areas. Lustrous, dark green leaves, changing to reddish purple in late Autumn. Upright, pyramidal form. Note: This tree is bare rooted, this means it has been field grown, then dug up in Winter and potted into its container. If purchasing between the months of June to October, the soil will fall away from the plant when you remove it from the pot. Your tree may also have been top pruned to bring the root system into balance with the top. For more planting infomation click here
